Satisfying today’s networking needs while preparing for tomorrow’s cabling
requirements can make designing and installing the physical layer of networks a
daunting task. The decreasing cost of fiber optic cabling and switching
equipment makes all-optical LANs the obvious choice when future-proofing network
equipment. Replacing legacy equipment and wiring infrastructure is a costly
choice. Managed media conversion allows implementation of new technologies on
existing networks, while monitoring all connections, to keep networks running
and up-to-date.
B&B Electronics offers a wide range of SNMP-managed Ethernet copper to fiber
media converters, with a choice of fixed rate or rate conversion capabilities.
The “iMcV-“ modules also include troubleshooting features and LEDs to assist in
network diagnostics as well as make isolating cable breaks easier. The
iMcV-MediaLinX and IE-iMcV-MediaLinX also features Link Fault Pass-Through. In
addition, the IE-Module provides support for Config Control if using SNMP
management.
All converters feature an RJ-45 copper port and a fiber port, with a choice of
SC, ST or SFP (IE-iMcV-MediaLinX only) connectors, and are hot-swappable.
Rate converters employ Auto Negotiation functionality on the twisted pair port
for plug-and-play operation, or they can be manually configured for the desired
speed and duplex mode.
